Abstract

This study addresses the personal and scholarly efforts of an Islamic figure who appeared in the late eight higra century. Burhan Al-Dean Ahmad, an Islamic figure, made up his mind to establish his kingdom in se was which was part of Anadhoul (Turkey) where the Roman Salajiqu Kingdom used to exist during his fathers life, Burhan Al-Dean was well-equipped with education and knowledge and his primary preoccupation was to set up that kingdom. Being the son of the spiritual magistrate Burhan Al-Dean exploited the weak political conditions of Al-Aritna, the rulers of Asia Minor at that time. He acquired great prominence when he seized the thrown after his fathers death. His prominence was not only due to his ability to establish a kingdom but also to his firm stance between the rising Turkish power (the ottoman state) and the Mamalik power. What incorporated more strength to his power was his attempt to face Taimourlank, the notorious tyrant Mongo! leader, Burhan Al-Dean even killed Taimourlanks messengers, the thing that made the tyrant conditions of him. Had Taimourlank not been engaged in war in India, a fierce battle might have taken place between them. Taimourlank might have won the battle, Burhan Al-Deans firm resistance would nevertheless have won him the ever-lasting fame of a man of principles and a defender of legitimate rights.
